If not SWFA then who?

[Stud Duck]

I really like the reliability/tracking ability of the SWFA SS line of scopes, but more so, their uncluttered Mil-quad reticle. Unfortunately, availability is their achilles heel.

What other mid-tier make and model scope is on par with the SWFA SS, in reliability and a simple reticle?

There isn’t one. It competes well above its price point.
Maven RS 1.2 is more money.
Maybe….the S2H when it gets released but it’s a unknown now.

What model are you looking for? I just buy one every black friday. I know that doesnt help you this instant but they are often available in the classifieds too.

Emailed them last week about the duplex Ultralight and they don’t know when it will come back in stock.

I cant understand why the 10x gets looked over so much. They are very good scopes

A fixed 10x in Eastern Hardwoods is too much. My shooting range fluctuates from right underneath my stand to 800 yards.

3-15x42 MRAD, there's 5 in stock...I need to move on that one, but was hoping for their spring sale.

Are you looking for one of those?

I only have experience with the 3-9 Swfa however I can say they are worth the wait if you can. If not I would definitely try the 3-15 personally. At that dollar range I haven’t heard of an equivalent for tracking and durability myself..

I bought the BDC version. I might consider a second one in duplex.

I prefer the 3-15 over the 3-9 or even the fixed 6. I own two of each don’t plan to replace the 3-9 but won’t buy anymore if the 3-15 are available.

I promise you it isn't too much. Im not some clueless westerner either. I spent the first 34 years of life hunting hardwoods in NY. Go to post # 40 in this thread and observe deer sized goats at 40 yards with SWFA 10x. It is completely reasonable IMO.

SWFA 10x is the 1 and only scope on my rifles for hunting WY and unless I was going back east to track whitetail and shoot at running bucks I wouldn't change anything for eastern hunting. If your shooting a lot of running deer in the eastern hardwoods I would us an LVPO anyway.

Too much for you, not too much for me. I carried my SWFA 10x in the forests and pastures for most of the past season. I had no issues on deer from 80-200 yards. I’d prefer a fixed 8x, but they don’t make that…

I can’t decide if I like the 6x or 10x more. I put another 10x on a rifle just this week. It’s fine for up close shooting.

Tough to go wrong with the Trijicon Credo HX line

The 10x is probably going to work just fine for what you’re after. I have two 6x swfas (gen1 and gen 2) prior to buying the gen 1 on the classifieds I almost bought a new 10x. If you’re patience is wearing thin, I’d just get the 10x, but if you’re willing to wait the 3-9x comes up quite a bit, an the occasional 6x.
